This is the third in a series of classes that may be taken individually or together.
Whether you are interested in raising rabbits for meat, pelts, or for show, this class will will cover what to look for in a good quality commercial breed rabbit. Some of the popular commercial breeds are New Zealand, Californian, Rex, Champagne d'Argent, American Chinchilla, Silver Fox, Satin, etc.
We will discuss what to look for as far as health concerns, conformation, fur types, and color. We will learn how to evaluate rabbits using the Edelweiss Ranch & Rabbitry Individual Rabbit Assessment Form, which will guide you step by step in assessing your rabbit. We will provide examples of both good and poor quality rabbits and we will practice hands-on assessments. Participants will have an opportunity to compare their assessments afterward. Attendees will go home with a packet containing much of the information covered in class for later reference as well as access to the digital file to use the Individual Rabbit Assessment Form for their own personal use.
